Inspiration

Our project began as we sat down to think about problems that affect people's health in our modern world. The biggest issue that came to mind was stress, particularly medical stress. We wanted people to be confident in their health even if they couldn't see a doctor at any particular time which is often a problem in America.

What it does

What our project aims to do is take data that could be collected from a Fitbit and combine the information to create a holistic image of the user's health. Our website would connect to a user's Fitbit, run their data against scientifically proven statistics for health, and show the user how they could improve or maintain their health through stats-based advice, ie. Increase # of calories burnt.

How we built it

We used Flask for our back end, React for our front end, and Firebase for our database.

Challenges we ran into

Integrating both Flask and React to form our website proved to be a challenge for us as everyone in our team was not used to web development and had very little experience actually utilizing either in a comprehensive product. Firebase was also a challenge to link up as it has a lot of dependencies that are not maintained and require running an older version of Python.

Accomplishments that we're proud of
